For almost a century the club has been responsible for the buoys in the Walton Channel; this started when the barge owners sailed into the Channel to Walton Mill. To this day the club retains full responsibility for both laying and maintaining all the navigation buoys of the main channel inside Pye End; a facility enjoyed by all local users and visitors to the Backwaters.

The cost to the club runs into several thousands of pounds each year, which is found by a mixture of donations, sponsorship and club funds. While the club is proud of its history and establishment as, what members like to call the friendliest club on the East Coast, the club is continually adapting to the needs of the modern sailing fraternity. A lot of money is spent to update and improve facilities for members both inside and outside the clubhouse. One of the latest projects is a two-storey boat store behind the current locker shed.
